Description

In the '50s and '60s, countless catalog guitars came equipped with gold foil pickups. While the pros may have disregarded these pickups under the assumption that they were a cheap gimmick, garage rockers began using guitars equipped with them out of necessity. Soon enough, tons of players were drawn to the low-output sparkle of these pickups, and their sound has since become synonymous with '60s garage rock. The all-new Gold Foil Jazzmaster pays tribute to those classic guitars, and it's perfect for players seeking an incredibly unique Fender with tons of character.

Unlike most Jazzmasters, this model features a mahogany body that delivers a rich, full sound with deep lows, punchy mids, and excellent sustain. Its '60s "C" shaped maple neck has a nice, vintage feel, and its ebony fingerboard and narrow tall frets play exceptionally well. Fender also equipped this Jazzmaster with a mustang-style bridge and a Bigsby B50 Vibrato, giving it plenty of vibrato potential for surf-rock tunes.

Of course, it wouldn't be called a Gold Foil Jazzmaster if it weren't equipped with a trio of gold foil mini-humbuckers. These pickups have an unbelievable vintage sound - they're chimey, raw, and highly responsive to changes in picking hand attack. They're also very reactive to the settings of the volume and tone controls, allowing players to dial in a wealth of '60s rock tones.

Fender rounded out the Gold Foil Jazzmaster's gorgeous aesthetic with pearloid block inlays, a matching painted headstock, and vintage-style tuners with white buttons. If you've been searching for a stellar vintage-inspired guitar that's sure to turn heads, look no further than the Gold Foil Jazzmaster.
